Hi,  
I am new to Gradle. I want to use java rest client using gradle configuration. So I created a gradle project and defined dependency in build.gradle as follows.

dependencies {  
compile 'org.elasticsearch.client:rest:5.0.1'  
}

But on compilation, I am getting the following error.

- What went wrong:  
Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':compile'.

> Cannot resolve external dependency :org.elasticsearch.client:rest because no repositories are defined.  
> Required by:  
> :Elasticsearch:unspecified

Please help me.

I think it's a gradle misconfiguration probably.  
But I have no idea.

May be using debug mode will tell you more?

Use

```auto
repositories {
   mavenCentral()
}

```

in your `build.gradle`. Read [https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/userguide.pdf](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/userguide.pdf)

Hi Jprante,  
Thanks.  
elasticsearch has also removed gradle configuration (as I used) from its documentation. So now this will work. 🙂
